Picnic

A client asked for an orange quilt and decided on a smaller version of "Picnic" designed by FigTree and Co - the lady had bought another orange quilt of mine as a gift for her sister last year and wanted a lap quilt to complement the first quilt.  I had a few of the fabrics still in my stash so I was pleased it all came together so well.

The binding is the same fabric as the first quilt

and Jenny (AngelCake Quilting) used the same Pearl Swirls design.

"Sewcialites" Block 12 is Faithful designed by Thimble Blossoms:

A few weeks ago I made some blocks to start "Stroll", also designed by Thimble Blossoms.

Section 1

Sections 2 and 3

Section 4

I don't think the quilt top will be together before the New Year - there is too much dressmaking and Christmas sewing happening at the moment and most spare time is spent working on the veranda upgrade.

Had a very busy weekend - T&H stayed over Friday night and Saturday, Elizabeth and I went out for dinner then to a drag show on Saturday night and Gulli came over on Sunday and Monday.  Mum visited each day as well so it was great she was able to spend time with the little ones.
